I forgot to add: Other bikes I have been considering are like the Trek Fuel EX 8, Specialized StumpJumper, Santa Cruz Hightower, YT Jeffsy, Commencal Meta
My hesitation is that geometry wise, some of them (Trek and Specialized) are almost identical to the Ghost. The others are mildly different, I just don't know how much of a difference it would make vs keeping the Ghost and just upgrading the components. Would want to demo all first, but can't right now at all.
